Thanks @nitzanhen, I'll have to look into mutation testing as I've not come across it before!

As for the statement. Yes it is radical which is why I find it intriguing!

Even though it could be implemented correctly and could fail, if it never has then what value has it added? The only way to prove the value is by it failing.
